DETROIT - July 16, 2010: For enthusiasts who want to be personally
involved in creating their Corvette, Chevrolet's new Corvette Engine Build
Experience allows them to literally build the engine for their new car. In
what is believed to be the first program of its kind, customers who order a
2011 Corvette Z06 or ZR1 can choose to pay an additional $5,800 and
hand-assemble their cars' LS7 or LS9 engines at GM's Performance Build
Center (PBC) in Wixom, Mich. In addition to building their own engines,
Corvette buyers can attend driving school in Arizona or Nevada, take
delivery of their vehicles at the National Corvette Museum or watch their
vehicles being built at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green,
Ky.
